To all whom it may concern I Be it knownthat I, GEORGE B. BRAYTON, of the city of Boston, in the county of Sufl'olk, in the State; ofMassachusetts, have invented-a new and useful Improvement in Composition-Metal for Eyelets; and I do hereby declare that the following specification is a I full,"clear, andcxact description thereof.

Letters Patent-of the United States were granted to me, dated Augnstfi, 1867, for the improvement in the manufacture of eyelets, which consists-in the employment of a metal composed of tin and zinc, incombination, and possessing pecnliarfitness for such manufacture.

The present invention appertains to the same su hject,

and consistsof the same elements, with the addition of a certain proportion of lead. The object of the additionof this thirdelement is to increase-the mass, by the introduction of a compar atively cheap metal, possessing qualities which enable it-tocombine with the other metals employed,

whereby a'less costly composition-metal is obtained, not essentially difierent in appearance, orinferior in utility, for the purpose designed, than that which is described in the patent-before referred to.

The proportions of the several metals named, which 'of zinc and eighteen pounds of lead to each two hun-' dred pounds of tin.

They should be melted together, and agitated by ticles.

into the form of small cylindrical massesaronnd maning, according to the process which is to be employed to manufacture it into eyelets.

adhered to, as a successful result does-not depend upon a nice observance of the formula for the composition, but care should be taken not to have the proportions of lead and zinc much in excess of the quantities given, as otherwise the compositionwill be rendered deficient in ductility, as well as inferior in color. I

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- The use of a metal for eyelets, composed of the elements, and of. the character substantially asdescribed.
